Taste of 13th Street August 2023
Enjoy these two great wines for backyard barbecues!
CHARDONNAY 2021
Ripe and fruity with notes of golden apples, lemon cream and honeysuckle. On the palate, it is rich but refreshing with flavours of ripe yellow pear, salted butter, butterscotch and light minerality. The finish is long with savoury notes refreshing the palate.
Serve chilled with rich seafood such as pasta with lobster and fennel cream sauce. Let the glass warm up a bit for further complexities to develop.
BURGER BLEND GAMAY PINOT NOIR
The nose is fruity with aromas of red raspberry, sour cherry, beetroot and stoney minerality. Fresh with vibrant fresh fruit on the palate with flavours of black and maraschino cherry, tart cranberry, licorice along with white mushroom and soft spice. Balancing acidity and light tannins.
Serve lightly chilled and enjoy it with a range of flavorful everyday favourites, such as burgers, beet and goat cheese pizza, mushroom salads or BBQ lamb.

Try our Chardonnay with:
Roasted Cauliflower & Curried Cashew Bisque
“When paired with the cauliflower soup, the wine becomes creamier and the rich fruit flavours really come through, finishing with lots of butterscotch and salted butter flavours.”

Tasting Notes
For us, “burgers” evoke memories of backyard barbecues, of sunshine and warm evenings, of good food and laughter with friends and family. The goal of this wine was to produce a fruit-laden and refreshing red that represents excellent value and one that would bring out the best in your burger. A challenging task since the perfect burger can be a very personal and unique creation. Consider the traditional elements: the acidity of pickle, the sweetness of relish and ketchup and the spice of BBQ sauce and mustard. Our final combination for Burger Blend is a satisfying mix of ripe red berry, balanced with acidity and a smooth, round fruity mouthful that can be enjoyed alone or with your favourite summer backyard fare, burgers most certainly included! Respect your burger… serve it with Burger Blend!
